Sync Claude Code config via dotfiles stow package

[pruszel]

Track Claude Code configuration in dotfiles so it syncs across machines (Mac + Linux).

What to sync

• ~/.claude/settings.json (permissions, hooks, plugins)
• ~/.claude/hooks/improve-prompt.py (critical prompt evaluation hook)
• ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (personal preferences)
• /grill-me skill
• claude-hud plugin

Machine-local files (~/.claude/projects/, sessions/, memory/, etc.) stay outside dotfiles.

What NOT to sync

• iterm-title.sh hook → move to ~/Developer/claude-code-config for safe keeping
• terminal-notifier command → remove (not needed on Linux)

Implementation

Create dotfiles/claude/ stow package:

dotfiles/claude/
├── .claude/
│   ├── CLAUDE.md
│   ├── settings.json
│   └── hooks/
│       └── improve-prompt.py
├── skills/
│   └── (grill-me skill files)
└── plugins/
    └── (claude-hud plugin config)

Steps:

1. Move iterm-title.sh to ~/Developer/claude-code-config
2. Create the directory structure in dotfiles
3. Move ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, settings.json, hooks/improve-prompt.py into dotfiles/claude/.claude/
4. Add grill-me skill files and claude-hud plugin config
5. Update settings.json to remove terminal-notifier hook and iterm-title.sh references
6. Run: stow -t ~ claude
7. Verify ~/.claude/settings.json and ~/.claude/hooks/improve-prompt.py are symlinks
8. On other machines: clone dotfiles, run stow -t ~ claude

Platform-specific differences

Keep one shared settings.json for both macOS and Linux.
